PDP offers to help Buhari, demands creation of border patrol squads

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it will put politics aside to help the President Muhammadu Buhari’s APC-led administration to tackle the multiple challenges facing the nation.

Also, the party has asked the president to create state police with better equipment to overcome the deteriorating security situation in the country.

The National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, stated this during a press conference in Abuja, on Monday.

Secondus said they would work in concert with the ruling APC to rescue the nation from all the avoidable “perilous circumstances”.

He advised that establishment of state police and setting up of border patrol squads outside of the traditional immigration and customs would check the influx of armed criminal gangs.

“We call on all citizens to support the quest for state police as is the tradition in other federations,” he said.

Also speaking, Governor Darius Ishaku of Taraba State advised that the APCled administration should experiment with the state police to know whether it will work or not.
